Why Is Our Secular Culture So Broken?

Why Is Our Secular Culture So Broken?

Why is our secular culture so broken? For the simple reason that it views Jesus in the same way it views Confucius, Muhammad, or other long-dead religious leaders. If you and I do not make Christ our living king, we treat him in the same way.

Do People Belong in Nature?

Do People Belong in Nature?

On one hand, documentaries like Planet Earth can motivate us to protect our planet’s beauty. That kind of majesty in detail often prompts a kind of worship, though it is often directed away from the One to whom it is due. Christians who believe that there was an Eden, a world in which nature, humanity, and God were at perfect peace, are given a picture of restoration when the curse is lifted and the ill effects of our fallen humanity are made right on earth as it is in heaven.

On the other hand, the desire to protect a “pristine” natural world often becomes a kind of conduit for assumptions of naturalism. If humans are only another part of nature, their violation of nature makes them a kind of cancer on the planet; at best, a problem to be solved and, at worst, a plague to be eradicated. Yet such a view cannot adequately sustain the work of conservation.

David C Cook’s president, Rick Rekedal, says a new focus on strengthening and expanding The Action Bible franchise is in the works.

The Action Bible is the best-selling comic book adaptation of the Bible because it does such a great job at bringing the stories of the Bible to life in a way that feels approachable and relatable. The illustrations from Sergio Cariello and the fast-paced storytelling are deeply engaging,” said Rekedal. “But beyond the core title, there are now numerous editions that help introduce these stories to kids from all walks of life, which we are in the process of updating into a broad new program. God’s Word is timeless and universal. We have an opportunity to help meet kids right where they are and invite them into a life-changing relationship with Him.”
